I wish that people would understand that depression and mental illness are a disease and that strong committed Christians, pastors, doctors, etc all fight and suffer with deep dark depression and mental illness. It’s not because the are selfish and don’t love and trust God, it’s because they are at a place where they physically, mentally, and spiritually are unable to and they need friends and family to battle for them. Anyway I’m sorry about my mini rant. It just irks me that the church so often abandons her must hurting and vulnerable. I’m so sorry that at that time in your father was battling against you and not for you. *hugs* ❤

SueM, You are exactly right. Some church’s, some Christians, make it hard for the hurting and wounded to be honest, to seek the help they need. Many well renowned Christians battled & battle depression. ..Charles Spurgeon for one. Anyway, our response can make it easier or harder on those who suffer. As for my father, he was just that kind of man. But, my hope is my honesty & sharing can help others seek the help they need regardless of whether anyone approves or not. Thanks for sharing SueM! Always feel free to comment, that’s how we learn from one another. God’s best to you, Donna

I am sure that your honesty and sharing will help many people seek help. Your poetry and writing will bless others and help bring healing. <3. Keep using the gifts God gave you and he will touch many people through you. 🙂
